Can a person have elective surgery such as a tummy tuck/w lipo , if they've had a stent placement more than 2 years ago?

Thank you for your question.
This will depend on your Cardiac and general health status as well as the extent of the procedure. You will need a Medical/Cardiology clearance before you have this procedure. All The Best !

Dear blackgirlrock, Thank you for your question.  The most important thing before surgery is to make sure that you are a safe surgical candidate for any elective procedure.  Having the stent placed more than 2 years ago does not exclude you from surgery.  However, your cardiologist would need to make sure that you would be safe for surgery given your cardiac history.  In addition, if you are on any blood thinning medication, there would need to be a plan in place for when to stop or restart this medication.  You and your board certified plastic surgeon can decide on this together and can review the risks and benefits of the procedure to make sure that your goals are met. Good luck! Hope this helps.
